Blue Crew Medicine
New podcast With the advent of modern technology and the limitless power of information at clinicians’ fingertips today, more than ever, several of our clinicians from the critical care transport (CCT) program, AirCare, decided to build a podcast. This is a discussion of current evidence-based medicine topics, with members of our transport teams and members of the Mississippi Center for Emergency Services (MCES). This is intended for all levels of public safety from first responders, EMTs, paramedics, nurses, ER NPs/PAs, and physicians with a focus on Flying Care to People© and definitive-care driven resuscitative medicine.
